Vivaldi Enterprise License Agreement

This Enterprise License Agreement (“Agreement”) is between Vivaldi Technologies AS (“Vivaldi”) and the organization using Vivaldi’s software and related services (“Customer”). This Agreement governs Customer’s use of the software and related services (collectively, the “Software and Services”) for its internal business purposes.

By downloading, installing, deploying, or using the Software or Services for Customer’s internal business purposes, Customer agrees to be bound by the following terms and conditions, provided that such activities are undertaken by or on behalf of Customer with knowledge of this Agreement.

Any individual undertaking such activities on behalf of Customer represents that they are authorized to do so.

This Agreement becomes effective when Customer first accepts or uses the Software or Services in a manner described above (the “Effective Date”).

1. Definitions and Scope

1.1. Software. “Software” means the Vivaldi browser software provided in executable form, including updates made available by Vivaldi, but excluding Third-Party Software (as defined below).

1.2. Services. “Services” means any ancillary services provided by Vivaldi in connection with the Software.

1.3. Authorized Users. “Authorized Users” means Customer’s employees and other individuals authorized by Customer to use the Software for Customer’s internal business purposes.

1.4. Enterprise Use. “Enterprise Use” means the deployment and use of the Software by Customer and its Authorized Users for Customer’s internal business purposes in accordance with this Agreement.

1.5. Scope. This Agreement governs the relationship between Vivaldi and Customer with respect to Customer’s enterprise deployment and use of the Software and Services. The Standard Vivaldi End User License Agreement (“Standard EULA”) continues to govern the relationship between Vivaldi and each Authorized User with respect to that individual’s installation and use of the Software and Services.

In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Standard EULA, this Agreement shall prevail with respect to the rights and obligations of Vivaldi and Customer, while the Standard EULA shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of Vivaldi and Authorized Users.
